The Harvey World Herald

Mission

The Harvey World Herald fills the void left after the collapse of local newspapers 40 years ago, providing critical information to the community in Harvey, Illinois.

In a community where corruption and ageism have pushed young people into invisibility, we aim to give the mic to this audience – to those with a voice but without a platform.

We want to change the narrative about Harvey, its residents — especially its young people — and get our readers information about the issues that matter. We do this by providing local, policy-driven, impartial reporting, unlike other Chicagoland outlets who are beholden to politicians or focus on other areas. Additionally, we make creative use of social media storytelling.
